Written By: Kat Pretty frequently, I get riled up about the state of feminism and begin to yell.

In Defense of MKO
Written By: Kat One of the tabloid news’ current big obsessions is the relationship between (entertainer/ business mogul) Mary Kate Olsen and (half-brother to the former French President) Olivier Sarkozy.
